Friday-February 20, 2009
It has been a week since Dink suffered his stroke. Today he was moved to Health South. Whether he was ready to be moved, only the Lord knows for sure. Prayers are most assuredly needed for this phase of his recovery.
His blood pressure soared to 200/110 in the process of being moved. He is no longer in a private room as he was in MICU - yes they moved him straight from an ICU unit to the rehab hospital! We just pray they have not moved him too quickly, and the rehab will not be overwhelming for his body at this early stage. Rhonda would have preferred a few more days at St. Mary's so his heart could be monitored - so would we. However the doctors' said it was time to move him (or was it the insurance making the decisions?) so he could start his rehab!
Rhonda will not be able to stay with him as she had and this frustrates them both. There is a calm about Dink when Rhonda is there - not only is she the love of his life, but her nursing experience is one that Dink trust completely! Please pray that Dink will have no setbacks and will be able to endure and excel during the rehabilitation period!
